** BOLIVIA. 5952.4, Oct 1 at 0023, no signal from Pio XII; must be off, as other
Bol & SAm at least carriers are in on 5910.3, 6050.0, 6134.8, 6173.9. Do
they close early on Saturday evenings instead of 0230? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, Sept 30 at 0516, checking RHC English:
this one is off, audiblizing the off-frequency ZY carrier; 6145 is good at
S9+20; 6100 is S9+10 but undermodulated; 6000 is S9+10 and undermodulated but
better than 6100.
15370, Sept 30 at 2035, S8 open carrier, must be RHC on
between transmissions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE.
9420, Oct 1 at 0046, very poor S5 music, presumably VOG reactivated after a few
weeks missing from this frequency, but much weaker than formerly, and now 9935
is off. Ivo reported earlier than 9420 was back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, Oct 1 at 0022, Mighty KBC with
classic rock at S9 fading to S6 via GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

more logs, all unID:

Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-LSB, Oct 1 at
0028, banjo music on LSB, 0029 missed announcement, distorted music; 0033 ID by
YL once as ``--- Radio``; 0036 distorted YL says ``reports to Underground Radio
will be answered by Chris Smolinski``. 0048 recheck, it`s off.
There were
a bunch of logs of French music during the previous hour on 6950-LSB, but ended
at 0008:
I
don`t see any HFU logs of Underground or anything during my time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6965-USB, Oct 1 at 0048,
S9+25 torch song, presumably Wolverine Radio with its bigsig; 0052 `Rock Around
the Clock`, 0054 Wolverine Radio ID. Many more logs here:

** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 30 at 1805, REE is
on at S9+10, but open carrier/dead air! 17715 is S9+10 with SBG modulation;

** U S A
[and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1897 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 29 at 2330
on WBCQ, 9330.149v-CUSB, good S9+10. Not confirmed Sat Sept 30 at 1431 on HLR
7265-CUSB: via UTwente once again I cannot make about WOR at 1455 check, but
some weak music, no doubt CRI.
``Greetings from WBCQ, FYI: Schedule
change for WBCQ 9330 broadcast on Saturdays. Effective immediately (9/30/2017),
"World of Radio" will be aired one hour earlier - at 5:30 pm Eastern (2130 UT
Saturday) instead of at 6:30 pm Eastern (2230 UT Saturday). Our apologies for
the short notice period. Thanks, Robert Ellis (WBCQ shortwave program director /
board operations)``
Thanks for the advance notice, not something I can
depend on from some other stations. Yes, confirmed Sat Sept 30 at 2130 on
9330.171v-CUSB, fair, just after sign-on. (Not sure what replaces at 2230, but I
notice after 2300 Blalock the Blaster is playing instead of an AWWW repeat).
Online sked not updated yet.
WOR 1897 confirmed Sat Sept 30 at 2300 on
WRMI, 11580 (which finally shows on their skedgrid), poor. Also confirmed UT

** U S
A. 9955, September 29 at 2030, filling in the blanx, the Friday show gaining
this semihour on WRMI is `Bajo el Sol de Miami` which I hadn`t really listened
to before; apparently about the arts, but mostly music, some interviews. Sat
Sept 30 at 2030, it`s `Blues Radio International`. Now solely by monitoring, I
have almost completed a week`s schedule of 2030s on 9955:
Sat, Blues
Radio International
Sun, Studio DX (Italian)
Mon, gospel huxter in
English
Tue, unchecked yet
Wed, WORLD OF RADIO
Thu, Frecuencia al

U S A. 7489.94, UT Sat Sept 30 at 0000, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide`
listening at first online, as AW talks about transmitter work, #1 on ``7415``
(oops), has been refurbished with two new 4CX35000 tubes, which he got
second-hand at a big discount; #1 had a lot of glitches. Tonight also on 5130
and 3250, and just about everything is full power, all // with no delay, he
says. I keep listening until the first call interrupts.
Not until 0141 do
I tune in SW, as he is about to wrap up, and find that 5130 is not on, but
3249.98 is good at S9+10, and measure #1 as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.16v-CUSB, Sat Sept 30 at 1459, tune in
to WBCQ ID JBA, 1500 music continues, fund-raiser promo, but cut off at 1501*. I
had forgotten to check for the special broadcast from Universe Radio starting at
1000! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.37-AM, UT
Sun Oct 1 at 0039, WBCQ, Marion of Attic is heard guesting on `Radio Timtron
Worldwide`, along with Cristina. It seems they are visiting Monticello to do
their own show live tomorrow, not only on 7490 but all the other frequencies.
Presumably at 21-22 UT Sunday, or expanded?
Now 3250.03 is also on, //
5130. 3250 is S9+20 fading to S7, while 5130 is S9+10 fading to S8.
9330.19v-CUSB at 0045 is running something else. At 0102, Timtron announces that
the ``90 meter service will be leaving`` as `Lumpy Gravy` is opening, but 3250
stays on // 5130 until 0103* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

U S A. 9930, Sat Sept 30 at 1807, WTWW-2 is still AWOL from afternoon frequency;

`Theater Organ in the Ozarx` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 7520, Oct 1 at 0057, WWCR is S9+50 but only traces of scratch modulation
yet nevertheless splashing out plus/minus 20 kHz; including sub/carrier/spurs
such as 7125.2. Wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
